I recently upgraded a standalone (not connected to internet) PC to openSUSE 12.3. I would like to install latest version of LibreOffice (4.1?) because I read that it solved the problem relating to opening docx documents.
Can anyone advise how I can download it to an internet-connected machine, then copy files or whatever across to 12.3 machine and install it there? Thanks in advance.

well you can use the version in the suse repos
just open yast ( but it is LO 3.6 )

or
download the
https://www.libreoffice.org/download/
LibreOffice_4.1.0_Linux_x86-64_rpm.tar.gz
-- for a 64 bit os

then read the install instructions that are in the archive
they tell you to run this for suse

For other RPM-based systems (Suse, etc.): then in the desktop folder

For SUSE-based systems:

Use the link John VV posted to download the file on your internet connected PC.

Copy the tar.gz file to a USB stick then to the suse PC.

Back to JVVs instructions.

Done!!

Hi - thanks for answers - however...
I downloaded LibreOffice_4.1.0_Linux_x86-64_rpm.gz to a PC and copied it across to openSUSE machine.
I gunzipped the file giving me LibreOffice_4.1.0_Linux_x86-64_rpm. From this I extracted 2 directories (readmes and RPMS) and a file (install).
I followed instructions in README_en_US - I uninstalled LibreOffice 3.6 (via YAST Control Centre); I then ran rpm -Uvh *.rpm (as you said) which installed loads of stuff.
So far so good, but the next instruction in the readme is:
"The above command does the first part of the installation process. To complete the process, you also need to install the desktop integration packages. To do this, change directory to the "desktop-integration" directory that is within the "RPMS" directory, using the following command:
cd desktop-integration
Now run the installation command again" etc
The problem is that there is no "desktop-integration" directory. If I create one in RPMS and cd to it then run (as instructed) rpm -Uvh *suse*.rpm. I get error: File not found by glob: *suse*.rpm

I assume I am doing doing something wrong, any ideas?

Easier to add this repository:

http://download.opensuse.org/reposit...openSUSE_12.3/

That will give you 4.0 and I imagine that 4.1 will be available shortly. Any time you are looking for a package that is not in the standard repositories, just go to

http://software.opensuse.org/123/

(The 123 directory is for version 12.3) There is a search window at the top of the page for packages and a drop-down menu next to it to modify the OpenSuSE version to whatever you wish.

I would caution to avoid adding repositories every time you want to add a package, as too many repositories may cause problems. There is an option given when Yast is working that allows you to choose whether or not to keep the repository after the download.

Hi purevw
Problem is that my 12.3 machine does not have direct access to the internet. I need to copy files to it manually from a PC with an internet connectiom.

you can live without the desktop menu files
--those can be created by the user fairly easily

-- looks to be a bit of a bug in 4.1

you can install this bit older 4.0.4
https://www.libreoffice.org/download...0.4&lang=en-US
copy to cd or usb thumb drive

4.0.4 is what i have installed right now .

Yes, I too run 4.0.4 in Fedora and I like the desktop integration facility. I untarred 4.1 and there is no desktop_integration directory (F19 64 bit) so I think I will skip this release

EDIT: Strange. I have noticed there is a freedesktop RPM so I thought I would go ahead and install 4.1 having removed 4.0 first. I did this and went to the Office section of my Cinnamon menu - no libreoffice general application but the usual batch of LO progs (writer, calc, etc).

So I ran writer and opened a doc. All good. I closed the doc with CTRL-F4 and this presented me with what I normally see - a screen allowing me to choose from a number of different LO docs or to open a recent doc. Normally I just leave this on my desktop and pop back to that workspace when I need to open a LO doc. So the functionality I require is there and I will stick with 4.1.

Noted though the readme is misleading

Thanks guys
I will try 4.0.4
